Colin Munro replaces injured Aaron Finch

Colin Munro replaces injured Aaron Finch: According to New Zealand Herald, Mumbai Indians have signed up New Zealand batsman Colin Munro as a replacement for the injured Australian opener Aaron Finch.

Hard-hitting Auckland batsman Colin Munro has been handed the opportunity of a lifetime, following the injury to Corey Anderson, who was side-lined of the IPL due to a fractured finger. If not for Corey’s injury, Mumbai wouldn’t have asked for a replacement for Finch.

The Newspaper reported The Indians, who are coached by Australian legend Ricky Ponting and have Shane Bond as bowling coach, sent out an SOS to Munro who has flown to Wellington to try to secure a visa. A best-case scenario would see him fly to India on Sunday afternoon.

Munro, 28, was in prolific form for Auckland at the end of the domestic season. In his last four first class matches, he scored 62, 137, 3, 14, 108, 8 and a blistering 281 against Central Districts in Napier. It was the innings in which he scored those runs off just 167 balls which included 23 sixes, the world record for the most number of sixes in a first class innings.
